THREE TIE ON 69 IN NORTH SCOTTISH ALLIANCE AT FORRES

There was a three-way tie featuring Graham Murray (Moray), Jeff Wright (Forres) and Kyle Godsman (Moray) on one-under-par 69 at the head of a field of 84 players in Saturday's North Scottish Golfers' Alliance competition at Forres Golf Club.

Murray birdied the sixth, ninth, 13th and 18th, offset by bogeys at the third, 11th and 15th.

Home-course man Wright would have won with a 68 but for a bogey at the 18th. Jeff had birdied the first, sixth, 12th and 16th, dropping shots at the second, 14th and 18th.

Godsman birdied the 18th for a share of first place. He also birdied the second, third, sixth and 13th but bogeyed the seventh, 10th, 14th and 17th.

Jonathan Keith (Inverness), who tied for 13th place on 74, had looked the likely winner until he dropped seven strokes over the last six holes.

A 73 by Ross Proctor (Forres) included an eagle at the ninth to be out in 31.
